Would anybody out there consider assembling my TenTec 1340? I am still pretty much a novice when it comes to kit building and bit off a little more than I can chew. I would certainly compensate any takers. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks - Bill

I have built Ten-Tec qrp kits. They are very good. The best advice I can give you is, go for it.The biggest help, is take your time. If you are not sure about something, call tentec, theyare more than happy to help.

I totally agree with K3XI---in fact, of the 3 monobanders I have built and still own---the TT 1340 is the one I mostly turn to because of the following features:---hot and quiet receiver, wonderful keying (QSK), smooth VFO, front panel accessibility for headphones, 4.5 watts out---and the 'just right' bandwidth of 1000 hz.The building of it is not nearly as intimidating as it may appear at 'first glance'---trust me and good luck.ErnieVE3GNU

Bill, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but managed to assemble and align my 1340 by taking small bites. Yes it does seem overwhelming at first but it is doable for sure. When you're done it's a real radio not a toy. Working stations on a rig you soldered together yourself on the kitchen table is a real kick and also impresses the hell out of the civilians. No shame in not building it yourself, but hope you give it a shot. Either way, will listen for you on 40. 73 de Tom, AB9NZ
